Review: Qbics Paint (Switch eShop)

Qbics Paint is not your traditional gaming experience. In fact, you could argue that it’s not trying to be a “game” at all. Up until this point, the majority of games released on the Nintendo Switch have been dedicated to showing off the hardware’s unique features and processing power while providing dynamic gaming experiences. Qbics Paint attempts to shake things up a bit by slowing them down.… → Read More

Review: Mr. Shifty (Switch eShop)

There's a brief message at the bottom of every game page on the Switch eShop. In short, it's a disclaimer that is designed to protect Nintendo and other developers from liability in the event that players suffer from a seizure caused by gameplay. You've probably seen the message, and you've probably ignored it. You probably also haven't played the stuttering Mr. Shifty on Nintendo Switch. This… → Read More

Review: Has-Been Heroes (Switch eShop)

After working on the Trine trilogy of physics-based adventure games, it's safe to say that Frozenbyte knows its way around the fantasy genre. Continuing in the grand tradition of sending three adventurers off on a harrowing quest, Nintendo Switch has now been graced with Has-Been Heroes, an RPG that blends elements of the roguelike and tower defense genres in an attempt to bring a unique… → Read More

Review: Human Resource Machine (Switch eShop)

Starting its life as a PC and Wii U game before eventually making its way to mobile devices and finally Switch, Human Resource Machine is the rare type of game that feels at home on almost any platform. This is due in large part to its unconventional gameplay, coupled with an adorable art style that lulls its players into believing that what lies beneath the surface isn't quite as devious as it… → Read More

Review: Gunslugs (3DS eShop)

There's a scene in the film The Expendables 2 in which main character Barney Ross - portrayed by perennial badass Sylvester Stallone - revs up a motorcycle to send it careening unmanned up a ramp and through the windshield of a helicopter. This is the vibe that Gunslugs wants to convey. As far as 8-bit run-and-gun shooters go, this one does a pretty good job of it. Beginning its life as a mobile… → Read More

Review: Conveni Dream (3DS eShop)

When I was a child, I once told my mother that I wanted to work at a gas station when I grew up. I don't know why this was my aspiration at the time, and I don't remember my mother's response, but I never did live up to that goal. I went on to do other things: I went to college, worked a few different retail and customer service jobs, and started writing for a website called Nintendo Life.… → Read More
